I would probably die for joy if someone kind soul buys me a tarantula or couple :D Your wife is AWSOME!
I think it's hard to find a mate if you own tarantulas. Many people hate them, in my opinion, without good reason. I'm girl and looking very normal so i have seen many thunderstruck facies...
The video is a joke, but the story behind it, is not. The German zoologist H.M. Peters made some experiments in 1948. He gave different stimulants ( amphetamine) for his garaden spiders. The goal was to got them build webs earlier than between 2 am and 5 am. The drug didn't yield the desired...
If there is rocks in tarantula's enclosure, there is always risk that tarantula burrow into the substrate and rocks fall onto the animal. But in that case, I don't really see the reason why the rocks should be taken away because there isn't enougt substrade for tunnels. Another reason could be...
Even if the Sven could prove the origin of those slings and that they are CB, there could be a chance that goverment makes him as a cautionary example.
Ok, he has breach the law and I think goverment doesn't give a *piip*, will our hobby suffer for that.
Personally I think, for example...
OMG, this is like a nighmare...
As someone mentioned earlier, Sven is (well, was) one of the most important dealer in Europe and this is truly lost for us. He had very good collections and pricies were also very reasonable.
Whaaaat? When C. crawshayi's name has changed? :eek: And if you now say that it has been ages ago, I will go under my bed to shame ;)
But back to subject. I have never really liked T. blondi 'cause they seems always so fat. Even thou I would someday have one :)
I have them both and my personal opinion is that if you definitely don't want order both, The tarantula keepers guide is everything you need. It just includes so much more information.
I think H. maculata is the most gorgeous tarantula in the hobby. I have two slings and cannot wait them growing. Actually right now they have very different tempers. Bigger one is quite shy and peaceful (for H.mac). The another one is everything and a little bit more what can be expected from mac :)
I wouldn't ever sell my female A. geniculata. She was my first T in collection :) She is my "little baby" and such a sweetheart, basicly I have never seen her angry.
I think it's male.
Why everyone are so sad if the T is male? Okei, they live shorter time than females and most males aren't so pretty but I think males can be precious pets as well as females.
